| for fear that anything | B |
| the passion for the page | C |

| your tarnished copper hair | H |

| when my body has eaten | N |
| spat you out | I |
| when my heart remembers to beat | I |
| my fingers remember the pen | S |
| - | |
| will I still remember you then | S |
| boyish sly | T |
| yet a total eclipse of my sun | N |
